Billing schedule and payment terms
- The school publishes annual tuition figures and a first‑year one‑time entrance charge; a separate boarding launch and 2026 fee structure are also published. The school's public fee pages do not publish a full detailed billing calendar, instalment options, or explicit term‑dates and invoice‑due dates on the pages accessed.
Boarding fees
- Royal Russell Vilnius is presented as launching a full‑time British boarding offer from 1 September 2026. A boarding charge shown in the school's 2026 fee notes is €1,000 as an additional (one‑time) boarding fee when mentioned together with the entrance fee (the pair shown as a combined non‑refundable amount in that notice). Boarding provision and the 2026 boarding fee are published as part of the school's 2026 fee structure.
Other costs and mandatory extras
- Uniform: a school uniform supplier is identified for ordering uniforms. - Meals: quality meals are available at an additional cost; meal charges are noted separately to tuition. - One‑off first‑year charges: the entrance fee and the boarding fee (when applicable) are charged in the first year as one‑time items; the 2026 example shows both charged together as non‑refundable. - Incidental costs commonly charged by international schools (not itemised on the public fee pages accessed) may include examination fees (IGCSE/A‑level), trips, extra‑curricular activities, additional language support, and materials; these are not fully itemised on the public fee summary available.
Refund information
- The school's 2026 fee notes state the one‑time entrance charge and the boarding charge (when shown together) are non‑refundable. No complete, line‑by‑line refund/withdrawal schedule (for termly refunds, deposits returned on withdrawal, or notice periods) was published on the public fee pages accessed.
Fee payment options
- The school's public fee summary pages that were accessed list contact addresses for admissions and general enquiries but do not publish a detailed list of accepted payment methods (for example: bank transfer, card, Flywire, or direct debit) on the fee summary pages accessed. Where other Royal Russell entities publish online payment portals and international payment providers, those are for different campuses and are not shown as a published payment method for the Vilnius fee pages accessed.
Brief note on items not published on the public fee pages accessed
- The school's published fee summaries accessed provide annual tuition by year group and show the first‑year one‑time charge(s) (entrance and boarding in 2026). The following items were not detailed on the public fee pages accessed and therefore are not included above: a full billing calendar (invoice dates and standard payment due dates), detailed instalment plans or discounts, a comprehensive list of incidental fees with amounts (e.g., per‑trip, per‑exam), and an exhaustive withdrawal/refund schedule beyond the stated non‑refundability of the entrance/boarding charge.
